“…Seed priming with melatonin has been used as an effective method to increase the yield of corn, mung bean, and cucumber under organic farming without fertilizer [ 18 ]. In rice, melatonin application could enhance the genes related to sucrose transporter and nitrogen uptake under a 15% reduction in nitrogen application [ 19 ]. Accordingly, exogenous melatonin application is a promising approach to minimising the use of fertilisers in conventional and organic farming.…”

Increasing food demand by the growing human population and declining crop productivity due to climate change affect global food security. To meet the challenges, developing improved crops that can tolerate abiotic stresses is a priority. Melatonin in plants, also known as phytomelatonin, is an active component of the various cellular mechanisms that alleviates oxidative damage in plants, hence supporting the plant to survive abiotic stress conditions. Exogenous melatonin strengthens this defence mechanism by enhancing the detoxification of reactive by-products, promoting physiological activities, and upregulating stress-responsive genes to alleviate damage during abiotic stress. In addition to its well-known antioxidant activity, melatonin protects against abiotic stress by regulating plant hormones, activating ER stress-responsive genes, and increasing protein homoeostasis, heat shock transcription factors and heat shock proteins. Under abiotic stress, melatonin enhances the unfolded protein response, endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation, and autophagy, which ultimately protect cells from programmed cell death and promotes cell repair resulting in increased plant survival.
